Complex profiles do not import with hotlinked module

[Anonymous]

In AC18 I am experiencing an issue with complex profiles in a hotlinked module disappearing in the 2D and 3D windows. The Profile Manager sees them, but they do not appear in the model anywhere. Has anyone experienced this problem? I would appreciate your comments.

Do your have any 0" skins for vapor barrier or anything like that in the complex profiles ?

No 0" thick stuff. Miscellaneous break metal fascia profiles (1/16" thick) and insulated metal panels (2" thick). Thanks for the reply.

Hi Chris,

I tried to reproduce the issue in ARCHICAD 18.0.0.7007 but I was not able to. So there must be some detail in your model missing from my tests. If you start a new file using one of the default templates that ships with ARCHICAD 18 USA and then Hotlink the module file in, does the problem happen then?

Also check:
- Partial Structure Display in the primary model. Document > Partial Structure Display... and set to Entire Model.
- Renovation Filter in the primary model and the renovation status of the complex profile elements in the module file.
- To check the filter: Document > Renovation; see which filter has a check mark next to it and change to see if results vary.
- To check Renovation Status of element: Select the element and look under Tags and Categories for Renovation Status. If your Renovation palette is open you can just select the element and see which Status button appears pressed in.




Best regards,
